Sbooster BOTW MKII Linear Power Supply - 12-13V Rating

 

The Best of Two Worlds Power & Precision ECO MKII linear audio upgrade power supply (BOTW P&P ECO) is the successor of Sbooster's BOTW P&P ECO, which was introduced in the summer of 2015. The BOTW P&P ECO upgrade power supply combines power, precision and efficiency in a unique innovative manner and is the best choice for every audiophile.

With the BOTW P&P ECO audio upgrade, the purification of the current starts immediately there where the polluted current enters the upgrade. The dual-stage mains filter and an earth line choke clean the current from high-frequency pollution before the current reaches the transformer. The transformer is a custom-made audio grade transformer with electrostatic shielding and is magnetically shielded.

The electronic design is innovative: it gets 50% more output out of the used electronics and consumes even up to 35% less energy than a conventional design. The BOTW P&P ECO audio upgrade concept is so efficient that it consumes only a bit more energy than the standard supplied high efficient, but also highly polluting switch mode adapter. It costs you annually a couple of euro extra on your energy bill for a priceless sound experience.

Finally, at the end of the DC cable, the unique split current system has been placed. The power supply of the BOTW P&P ECO audio upgrade provides the split current system with continuous powerful and clean power, so the electronics can do their job profoundly, which is to buffer the power, so that the power supply becomes very fast, and to filter one last time the voltage and current before they enter the audio device.

This unique upgrade power supply with its large headroom delivers at all times sufficient clean power to the audio device to ensure a stable and continuous performance of the internal processes of the audio device in order to get the best performance out of the audio device.

This combination of power and precision results in “easy” music, a perfect soundstage and a natural detailed sound.

  • 50% more output current
  • Power saving design
  • 2 characteristics in 1 product - power for high current demanding equipment and precision for noise-sensitive equipment

  • Tweaks: Sbooster's tweaks further refine your audio and video setup, allowing you to achieve the best possible results.

Why choose Sbooster? Many audio and video enthusiasts focus on various system elements, such as screens, speakers, cables, and amplifiers, but often overlook the importance of the power supply.

The result is a noticeable improvement in sound and vision quality, allowing you to immerse yourself in your favourite music and videos.

About SBooster

Dutch maker of linear power supply upgrades for audio equipment that runs on 5 to 24V.

SBooster is a Dutch company that makes linear power supplies to replace the standard plug-in adaptor on audio equipment. Its supplies are built for devices that run on 5 to 24V, and are offered in a series of voltage versions. You can match one to a streamer, a DAC or a network switch.

The BOTW P&P ECO MKII is the main model

BOTW stands for Best of Two Worlds, and P&P for Power and Precision. SBooster says the MKII has a better circuit board and improved magnetic shielding. Supplies are offered at 5-6, 9-10, 12-13, 15-16, 18-19 and 24V, so choose the one that matches your equipment.

The Ultra adds active filtering

The Ultra is an add-on that uses active filtering. SBooster says its supplies give more output current than the standard version and use less energy, with a two-stage mains filter and a custom transformer. These are the maker's claims, so check the specification.

Match the voltage before you buy

A linear supply must match the voltage your equipment needs, and the plug type. Using the wrong voltage can damage a device. Check the voltage and current rating printed on your existing power adaptor, then match it to the SBooster version.

AI Review Summary — Generated from 12 Reviews

This external linear power supply receives consistent praise across multiple audio systems for delivering audible improvements in sound quality. Customers report enhanced clarity, tighter bass control, improved soundstage depth, and a lower noise floor when paired with music streamers, amplifiers, and digital audio devices like the Lumin Mini and Mytek Brooklyn Bridge. Build quality is noted as excellent with proper shielding and insulation. A common observation is that benefits become apparent only after a break-in period of two to three weeks. Some reviewers note improvements are incremental rather than dramatic, though the product is valued as cost-effective relative to alternatives. Customer service from the retailer Futureshop is consistently praised for fast delivery and responsiveness. No recurring negative themes were identified in these reviews.

Excellent Upgrade 27 February 2025
As a previous reviewer has said, this makes an excellent upgrade to the Pathos Aurium hybrid valve headphone amp.

It basically takes all the good things about this amp and makes them just that little bit better or maybe reveals what was already there but slightly obscured by the limits of the original power supply.

Nice bonus 27 November 2022
I use it with my Lumin u2 mini feeding my UR Unico 90 amp.

It’s not a night-and-day improvement but nice cherry on top of the cake. The most obvious improvement is the better clarity, perhaps because of the better-controlled bass. Nothing can destroy the SQ more than the bass without the control or harsh treble. It fixed the loosened bass. Treble and mids stayed as good as they have been but slightly cleaner.

Compared to the stock internal PSU, it’s a better product, and if your system usually shows the changes in cabling, it will probably show the change with this PSU too.

Excellent Product 20 October 2022
One of my recent purchases. I am using it with a Lumin U1 Mini.

I can suddenly hear more bass, clarity and soundstage. Go for it!

I have never tried a more expensive linear power supply, but at this price range, it is the best.

SIMPLY OUTSTANDING. LUMIN MINI NEVER SOUNDED SO GOOD 22 November 2021
PERFECT UPGRADE FOR MY LUMIN MINI STREAMER. THE SBOOSTER DELIVERS!!!!

THE POWER SUPPLY IS VERY WELL BUILT AND MAKES A REMARKABLE DIFFERENCE IN SWITCHING FROM THE INTERNAL SWITCH-MODE POWER SUPPLY TO THE LP OF SBOOSTER.

LUMIN MINI OWNERS LOOKING FOR AN UPGRADE WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

The BOTW P&P ECO already includes advanced internal filtering, designed to deliver exceptionally clean power on its own. Many users find the best results when connecting it directly to a high-quality wall socket, avoiding extra layers of conditioning that could restrict dynamics. However, if you’re using a premium mains distribution block optimised for hi-fi systems, pairing it with the Sbooster can still provide excellent performance. The key is to ensure the Sbooster always has access to a stable mains supply with minimal interference.

Turntables and phono stages are among the most sensitive components in a hi-fi system. Any noise in their power supply chain can easily be amplified, clouding the sound. By replacing the standard adapter with a BOTW P&P ECO, you supply these devices with ultra-clean, stable power. The result is lower background noise, smoother high frequencies, tighter bass, and more natural musical flow. Vinyl playback especially benefits from this upgrade, as the Sbooster allows the subtle details and warmth of analogue recordings to shine through.
